106: Dr. Michael Breus: Better Performance Through Better Sleep

“You change somebody’s sleep and you change their life.” Dr. Michael Breus, aka The Sleep Doctor, will change the entire way you have been thinking about and approaching sleep. By focusing on both the quality as well as the appropriate quantity (not what you think it is), we can increase our performance and be at our best cognitively, emotionally, physically, and even spiritually. Dr. Breus shares a practical 5-step plan for better sleep, discusses supplements for sleep, and offers some tips for waking up quickly and staying alert when most are having a mid-day slump. He even covers dealing with jetlag, sleep trackers, and sleep’s impact on your immune system. This is a workshop’s worth of topics, distilled into an impactful 30-minutes.

Listen, share, and put his ideas into action. Let’s play bigger, do better, and move the world!
